Triumph of the Irrational

Women’s Bizarre Embrace of a Religion that Hates Them

Immersion into scriptures that abound in absurd conclusions meant to change a person's outlook on life must inevitably have a deleterious impact on their target audience. Nowhere is this more evident than in women's embrace of a religion that hates them.

Islam's animosity towards females not only stems from an unfounded fear that women, left to their own devices, will seduce good Muslim men into committing illegal intercourse, but of what they are capable, and it has nothing to do with sex. It is this fear that compels the Taliban to limit girls’ education to the sixth grade, and for Allah and His mouthpiece to denigrate females to the point where they hate themselves. It is the fear of being outclassed.

Archie, the bartender of Remembering Uzza - If Islam Was Explained to Me in a Pub, Boreal Books, explains this to Uzza to raise her spirits after she realizes it is mostly mothers who will keep Hell’s Fire burning:

Archie: You’re a woman, Uzza. You can think and talk at the same time, and do all those other things, like raising a family. It is because you’re smart, beautiful, and can do whatever you want to when you put your mind to it that you scare the crap out of the insecure men around you who, like this Prophet Muhammad and his ludicrous claim that God, any god, would take pleasure in burning mothers, for whatever reason, will stop at nothing to prevent you from becoming the best you can be. Fuck me; I’m starting to sound like a bloody commercial.

Hell is For Mothers

(Excerpt from Remembering Uzza – If Islam Was Explained to Me in a Pub, Boreal Books)

Gerry: Didn’t the Prophet say that the vast majority of those whom Allah will sentence to burn in Hell will be women? And, from what I remember, it was not because of what we have been talking about.

Uzza: No, it will be because of our ungratefulness.

Bob: Ungrateful to whom?

Uzza: Our husbands.

Archie: That is sick, sick, sick, sick! That means Allah’s favourite firewood for his Hell is mothers.

Uzza: What do you mean?

Archie: Think about it for a minute. Islam expects girls to be married off at a very young age, and once married, avoid contraceptives so that Allah can get busy creating little believers by the ton.

Uzza: Allah does not want girls to burn in Hell. That is why, when they reach puberty, He wants them to get married so that when they get the urge to have sex, they will satisfy that urge as the wife of somebody and not burn in Hell for having sex outside the sanctity of marriage. Scholars like the Ayatollah Khomeini have confirmed Allah’s intent by encouraging fathers to marry off their daughters before they start menstruating. He said:

It is better in the eyes of God if a girl started menstruating in the home of her husband instead of that of her father and that any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.

Archie: Without the child’s consent, obviously.

Uzza: Not really.

Archie: How does a nine-year-old girl, assuming that the Prophet had sex with Aisha after she had experienced her first period, know enough about what marriage is all about, especially early on, to give her consent to any man, especially one who is old enough to be her father, if not her grandfather?

Uzza: Muhammad said her silence is her consent.

(Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How can we know her permission?" He said, "Her silence (indicates her permission)." Bukhari 62.67)

Archie: Just another way the Prophet made it easy for old men to have their way with children.

(Aisha knew from experience that this was a specious justification for having your way with a child and said so to her husband, who simply repeated his claim about silence being the equivalent of consent. Narrated Aisha: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence." Bukhari 62.68)

Uzza: A child who has started menstruating is no longer a child.

Gerry: Uzza, that means in Islam, a child’s transition from being too young to being old enough to be taken advantage of is measured in days, weeks at the most.

Uzza: When you put it that way.

Bob: How do such agreeable, if clueless kids, become ungrateful enough to deserve to end up on Allah’s barbecue?

Uzza: The unforgiveable ungratefulness comes later, when the child-bride grows into a woman who no longer automatically acquiesces to everything her husband demands of her, in spite of all the good things he, according to Allah, has given her out of the goodness of his heart. That is why it is mostly females of all ages who will keep Hell’s Fire burning.

(Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?." He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them… " Bukhari 2.28)

Archie: And, like I said before, most of them will be mothers.

Bob: It is a good thing everyone who enters Paradise will be thirty-something. If not, you would have a lot of motherless children in Paradise crawling, laying around crying, pleading for their mothers.

Gerry: Even worse. On Judgment Day, Hell will be positioned just below Paradise.

(The Prophet said: "Hell will be brought forth that Day by means of seventy thousand ropes, each of which will be held by seventy thousand angels.” Sahih Muslim 40.6810)

The believers will just have to look down to feast their eyes on their tormented former friends and relatives whom Allah has condemned to burn for an eternity.

(37:50 Then, they will advance one towards the other asking each other. 37:51 One of them will say: “I had a comrade; 37:52 “Who used to say: ‘Are you then one of the confirmed believers?’ 37:53 “Will we, once we are dead and have become dust and bones, be really judged?” 37:54 He said (to his companion): “Are you looking down?” 37:55 He looked and saw him in the centre of Hell. 37:56 He said: “By Allah, you almost caused my perdition. 37:57 “But for my Lord’s Grace, I would have been one of those brought forward.”)

Bob: That means, these instant men will not be able to avoid seeing their mothers roasting in Hell while fornicating with one of Allah’s robots, with most of the real women sent to Hell by the manufacturer.

Gerry: Not only that, Paradise and Hell will also be within shouting distance of each other.

(7:43 And We shall remove all rancour from their hearts; and under them rivers will flow. They will say: “Praise be to Allah Who guided us to this; we would never have been guided, had not Allah guided us. The Messengers of our Lord came with the truth.” Then a voice will cry out to them: “This is indeed the Paradise which you have been made to inherit for what [good] you used to do.” 7:44 And the people of Paradise will call out to the people of the Fire: “We have found what our Lord promised us to be true; so have you found what your Lord promised to be true?” They will say: “Yes.” Thereupon a caller from their midst shall call out: “May Allah’s curse be upon the wrongdoers; 7:45 “Who bar [others] from Allah’s Way and desire it to be crooked; and they disbelieve in the Hereafter.”)

The moans of their houris may not be able to drown out the terrible screams of their mothers on fire below.

Uzza: I think I am going to be sick.

Archie: Do you want me to call your mother?

Uzza: That is so cruel!

Archie: Sometimes you have to… Ah, forget it! I’m sorry, Uzza. But, if you’re going to end up in Hell anyway, why do you and women like you, and I suspect most educated women who have been tasked by an ungrateful asscapade into raising arrogant sons and submissive daughters, put up, as Gerry said, with all the nonsense?

Uzza: You do not understand what you are asking of women and girls raised not only on a fear of what Allah will do to them when He gets His hands on them, but what men will do to them here.

Gerry: Maybe we should get back to Safiyyah and what happened next.

Uzza: I am sorry, but I cannot stop thinking about what was just said.

Uzza: [can’t help but smile]. Asscapade? Is that even a word?

Archie: Would you prefer…?

Uzza: No. No, I would not.

---- end of excerpt ----

Allah and His mouthpiece make no bones about their injurious views of women, with Muhammad being the most brazen.

Masruq reported:

It was mentioned before Aisha that prayer is invalidated (in case of passing) of a dog, an ass and a woman (before the worshipper, when he is not screened). Upon this Aisha said: You likened us to the asses and the dogs.

Sahih Muslim 4.1038

Aisha said [to Muhammad]: "You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses."

Sahih Muslim 4:1039

You can mount, with Allah’s blessing, any jenny or bitch in your possession whenever you feel the urge.

2:223 Your women are a tillage for you. So get to your tillage whenever you like. Do good for yourselves, fear Allah and know that you shall meet Him. And give good news to the believers.

You can beat an uncooperative jenny or bitch into submission.

4:34 Men are in charge of women, because Allah has made some of them excel the others, and because they spend some of their wealth. Hence righteous women are obedient, guarding the unseen (their sex) which Allah has guarded. And those of them that you fear might rebel, admonish them and abandon them in their beds and beat them. Should they obey you, do not seek ways of harming them; for Allah is Sublime and Great.

You should not flog your jenny or bitch like you would a slave and then expect to have sex with it that evening.

Narrated Abdullah bin Zam'a:

The Prophet said, "None of you should flog his wife as he flogs a slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of the day."

Bukhari 62.132

The same goes if you flogged them as you would a prized camel!

Narrated Abdullah bin Zam'a:

The Prophet forbade laughing at a person who passes wind, and said, "How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then he may embrace (sleep with) her?"

Bukhari 73.68

Men, in the Koran, are superior to those Muhammad has “likened to the asses and the dogs” by at least one degree, whatever a degree is, but it is a lot.

2:228 Divorced women should keep away from men for three menstrual periods. And it is not lawful for them to conceal that which Allah has created in their wombs, if they truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. Their husbands have the right in the meantime to take them back, should they seek reconciliation; and women have rights equal to what is incumbent upon them according to what is just, although men are one degree above them (what is meant here is that the men have a superior authority). Allah is Mighty, Wise.

That superiority is reflected in a better memory.

2:282 O believers, when you contract a debt for a fixed period, write it down. Let a scribe write it for you with fairness. No scribe should decline to write as Allah has taught him. So let him then write and let the debtor dictate. He should fear his Lord and not diminish the debt in the least. If the debtor is feeble-minded or week or ignorant, then let his guardian dictate with fairness. And call to witness two witnesses of your men; if not two men, then one man and two women from such witnesses you approve of, so that if one of them (the two women) fails to remember, the other will remind her...

That superiority is reflected in how a marriage can be ended by a husband by simply telling a spouse that he is divorcing her. He does not need a reason to divorce any of his wives or obtain anyone’s permission to do so. He simply has to tell her, “I divorce you" and wait until his soon-to-be-ex-wife has experienced three menstrual cycles, and it’s over. To avoid returning her dowry and other things he may have given her, he may make her life so difficult that she will ask for a divorce, which he will grant if she “ransoms herself” by forgoing her dowry, as an example, leaving her more or less destitute unless another man will have her.

2:229 Divorce may be pronounced twice. Then they (women) are to be retained in a rightful manner or released with kindness. And it is unlawful for you [men] to take back anything of what you have given them unless both parties fear that they cannot comply with Allah’s Bounds (by obeying His commands). If you fear that they cannot do that, then it is no offence if the woman ransoms herself [pays money to be set free]. Those are the bounds set by Allah. Do not transgress them. Those who transgress the bounds set by Allah are the wrongdoers.

That superiority is reflected in the disposition of an inheritance.

4:11 Allah commands you, with respect to your children, that the male shall inherit the equivalent of the share of two females. If there be more than two females, then they should receive two-thirds of what he (the deceased father) leaves; but if there is only one female, she is entitled to one-half. To each of his parents, one-sixth of what he leaves, if he has any children; but if he has no children, then his parents will inherit him, the mother receiving one third. But if he has any brothers, then his mother receives one-sixth, after any will he had made or any debt he had incurred [is taken care of] Your fathers and sons – you know not who of them is of greater advantage to you. This is a law from Allah; Allah surely is All-Knowing, Forbearing.

Females are not only inferior in intelligence and in faith, but are inherently evil.

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "Evil omen is in the women, the house and the horse."

Bukhari 62.30

Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) saw a woman, and so he came to his wife, Zaynab, as she was tanning a leather and had sexual intercourse with her. He then went to his Companions and told them: The woman advances and retires in the shape of a devil, so when one of you sees a woman, he should come to his wife, for that will repel what he feels in his heart.

Sahih Muslim 8.3240

That purported evilness is something that Allah, like their menses, made part of a female’s physiology which they can do nothing about, but for which they will be blamed: their sexual allure. In the Koran, females use their God-given bodies to seduce Allah’s good men into having illegal intercourse and risking joining them in Hell.

In the Koran, it is females (married and unmarried) who lust after the naked male body and are almost always the sexual aggressor. They can also be expected to lie about sexual assault, for example, falsely accusing a man of attempted rape when, in reality, they initiated the act. From the story of Joseph son of Jacob whose benefactor’s wife would have him sleep with her—by force, if necessary?

12:25 They raced to the door, and she ripped his shirt from behind. When they met her husband at the door, she said: “What is the penalty of one who intended evil for your wife except imprisonment or severe punishment?”

Exceptionally, God, when recounting this encounter, acknowledges that men can, on rare occasions, be the aggressors and describes how you can tell.

12:26 He (Joseph) said: “She sought to seduce me.” And a member of her household bore witness: “If his shirt was torn from the front, then she is telling the truth and he is a liar.

12:27 “But if his shirt is torn from behind, then she lies and he is one of the truthful.”

While admitting that men can, on occasion, be forceful in the pursuit of intimacy, Allah makes two damning generalization about women: that they are sinners skilled in the art of deception. Notice the plural form of woman, “you women,“ in Verse 12:28.

12:28 When he (the husband) saw that his shirt was torn from behind, he said: “This is part of your guile, you women. Your guile is indeed very great.

12:29 “Joseph, overlook this matter; and you woman, ask forgiveness for your sin. You are indeed one of the sinners.”

Women’s embrace of a religion that is disdainful of their gender will not diminish the odds that they will end up roasting in the bowels of Allah’s Hell while their husbands enjoy all that a massive sexopoles in the sky has to offer courtesy of a misogynous deity.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were ungrateful."

It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?)

He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds) done to them.

Bukhari 2.28

Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas:

The people say, "O Allah's Apostle! We saw you taking something from your place and then we saw you retreating."

The Prophet replied, "I saw Paradise and stretched my hands towards a bunch (of its fruits) and had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains. I also saw the Hell-fire and I had never seen such a horrible sight. I saw that most of the inhabitants were women."

The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Why is it so?"

The Prophet replied, "Because of their ungratefulness."

Bukhari 18.161

Women will burn in Hell, not only for their ungratefulness, but for their ingrained stupidity and “deficiency in her religion” as evident by God denying the right to pray to females who are menstruating.

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al- Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hellfire were you (women)..."

They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle?"

He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you."

The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?"

He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?"

They replied in the affirmative.

He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?"

The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

Bukhari 6.301

That God’s spokesman would refer to a woman’s “menses” as a “deficiency” would indicate that, like the god for whom he spoke, he was unaware of how crucial a woman’s eggs are for conception.

Allah and the Beginnings of Life

(Abbreviated from Getting to Know Allah, Boreal Books)

A Fluid Beginning

25:54 And it is He who created from water a human being; then he made him a kin by blood or marriage. Your Lord is All-Powerful.

----

32:7 Who fashioned well everything He created, and originated the creation of man from clay.

32:8 Then He fashioned his progeny from an extract of fluid.

32:9 Then He shaped him well and breathed into him of His Spirit. He gave you hearing, sight and hearts. How little do you give thanks!

----

77:20 Have we not created them from base water?

77:21 That We laid in a secure place;

77:22 Until an appointed term.

77:23 We determined, and what excellent determiners were We!

From “base water” deposited in the womb, Allah creates a human being with its two senses, a heart and no brain, as the heart was understood at the time of Muhammad to do much of what we know today to be the exclusive domain of the brain: thinking.

16:78 And Allah brought you out of your mothers’ bellies knowing nothing; and gave you hearing, sight and hearts, that perchance you may give thanks.

In another revelation about creating humans from H20, it is “flowing water” which some scholars, such as those at Islamicstudies.info, argue “means ejaculation.”

86:5 So let man consider what he was created from.

86:6 He was created from flowing water;

The amniotic sac, which ruptures at the onset of labour, is much closer to what God describes as the source of the water than are the testes. Then again, anatomy was never Allah’s strong suit.

86:7 Emanating from what lies between the loins and the breast-bones.

Perhaps it was mixture of sperm and water.

76:2 We have indeed created man from a mixed sperm to test him; and so We made him capable of hearing and sight.

Allah created all creatures from water.

24:45 Allah created every beast from water. Some of them crawl on their bellies, some walk on two feet and others walk on four. Allah creates whatever He pleases. Allah, indeed, has power over everything.

Revelations 75:37-39 bear a remote resemblance to what actually happens, if you ignore the role of a woman’s egg and the fact that the sex of an individual is decided at conception.

75:36 Does man think that he shall be left unattended (on Judgement Day)?

75:37 Was he not a drop of sperm released?

75:38 Then, he was a leech; then He created and fashioned (him);

75:39 Making of him a couple, male and female.

It's All About the Sperm

23:12 We have created man from an extract of clay;

23:13 Then we placed him as a sperm in a secure place;

A man is not the creator of the semen he emits during ejaculation.

56:58 Have you seen the semen you emit?

56:59 Do you create it, or are We the Creators?

The semen that God has created is then deposited in the woman’s “secure place”, whatever He believes that place to be, as “a sperm-drop” and from which He will fashion His “professed disputant,” and “trouble-maker."

16:4 He created man from a sperm-drop and, behold, he is a professed disputant.

36:77 Does not man see that We created him from a sperm; and behold he is a manifest trouble-maker?

Don’t be confused by the translator’s use of sperm, sperm-drop and semen interchangeably; it’s all semen (an actual sperm was first identified by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1677 using one of the first microscopes).

In some revelations about Adam’s origins, such as the following, dust was the source material not clay.

35:11 Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm, then made you into couples. No female bears or gives birth, save with His knowledge, and no man advances in years or his life-span is diminished, except as ordained in the Book. That indeed is an easy matter for Allah.

Another reminder from Allah about what He created from a sperm and a sperm only.

80:17 May man perish! How thankless he is!

80:18 Of what did He create him?

80:19 Of a sperm, He created him and determined him.

Beware of the Clot

23:14 Then we created out of the sperm a clot; then made from the clot a lump of flesh, then made the lump of flesh into bones; and then covered the bones with flesh; then fashioned him into another creation. So Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators.

Ignoring the fact that there is no such stage in the gestation process when bones are formed first then coated with flesh, scholars have focused the on word clot in the previous and in the following revelations to argue that Allah knew more about conception than was known at the time; that God was aware that babies developed from a fertilized egg. They interpret “clot” to mean zygote.

22:5 O people, if you are in doubt regarding the resurrection, We have indeed created you from dust, then from a sperm, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order to show you. We deposit in the wombs whatever We please, for an appointed term; then we bring you out as infants; till you attain full strength. Some of you are made to die, and some are returned to the vilest age, so that they may not know, after having acquired some knowledge, anything. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water upon it, it stirs and swells and produces vegetation of every pleasing variety.

40:67 It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm, then from a clot. Then He brings you out as infants; then allows you to come of age, then become old men. Some of you will pass away before that, but you will attain a fixed term, that perchance you might understand.

96:2 He created man from a clot.

Muhammad, in the following hadith, explains what Allah meant by clot, and it is not a zygote by any stretch of the imagination; it is something completely alien to what we know about the gestation process.

Narrated Abdullah bin Mus'ud:

Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."

Bukhari 54.430

Things That Don’t Come in Pairs

13:3 And it is He Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm mountains and rivers; and of each kind of fruit He created two pairs (males and females). He causes the night to cover the day. Surely in that are signs for people who reflect.

36:36 Glory be to Him Who created all the pairs of what the earth brings forth, of their own kinds and of what they know not.

78:8 And created you in pairs?

What about organisms such as the amoeba that reproduce asexually, i.e., without transfer of reproductive material from a male donor to a female “receptacle”? What about animals higher up the evolutionary ladder, such as the female whiptail lizard and other species that reproduce through pathogenesis (no males required)?

Science may have to revisit this entire asexual reproduction thing. As for living organisms that don't come in pairs, it has to be a mistake. As to self-pollinating fruit trees, the less said the better.

---- end of excerpt ----

Wives who hope to beat the odds by becoming a martyr in Allah’s Cause, a world ruled by the Sharia, will not fare any better than a grateful spouse. For both of them, it will not be raining men but houris, Allah’s irresistible female facsimiles who know more about pleasing a man than Cosmopolitan magazine. They both will have to compete for their husband’s attention with these wide-eyed manufactured man-pleasers and perhaps wide-eyed maidens, i.e., spinsters whose appearance Allah will have enhanced before marrying them to an already married man or a deserving bachelor.

44:54 Thus it will be; and we gave them wide-eyed houris in marriage.

37:48 And they also shall have wide-eyed maidens averting their gaze.

In Understanding Jihad, author David Cook, writes about a question asked by a prospective female suicide bomber unsure about the rewards for a female martyr. Would she get the equivalent to the male suicide bomber who is promised a fairly extensive harem of women in return for martyrdom?

Question: I wanted to ask: what is the reward of a female martyr who performs a martyrdom operation; does she marry 72 of the houris?

Answer: … The female martyr gains the same rewards as does the male, with the exception of this one aspect [the houris], so that the female martyr will be with the same husband with whom she dies. “And those who have believed and their progeny, followed them in belief. We shall join their progeny to them. We shall not deprive them of any of their work; every man shall be bound by what he has earned” [52:21]. The one who is martyred and has no husband will be married to one of the people of Paradise.

Like on earth, both female martyr and grateful spouse will be secluded until their husband deigned to call on them.

Narrated Abdullah bin Qais:

Allah's Apostle said, "In Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow pearl sixty miles wide, in each corner of which there are wives who will not see those in the other corners; and the believers will visit and enjoy them. And there are two gardens, the utensils and contents of which are made of silver; and two other gardens, the utensils and contents of which are made of so-and-so (i.e. gold) and nothing will prevent the people staying in the Garden of Eden from seeing their Lord except the curtain of Majesty over His Face."

Bukhari 60.402

The advantage of embracing the irrational for men is obvious; for women, not so much. Why the attraction? Was Muhammad onto something when he said females were deficient in the membrane, that they would embrace a religion that literally hates them in both words and behaviour?

The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal half that of a man?’

The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of the woman’s mind.

Bukhari 48.286

Is it because women are wired for submission as Margaret Wente argued in Wired For Submission, Globe and Mail, November 3, 2006. Something Muhammad clued into and took advantage of. Uzza has another explanation:

Bob: No more self-abuse and inflatable dolls because the girlfriend has a headache. Sex on demand, I could go for that.

Uzza: And many men do. Sex may be Islam’s greatest draw.

Archie: What's in it for the other women?

Uzza: What other women?

Archie: Like the masked women you see on television who defend Islam. They scare me more than the men. They are so in-your-face!

Uzza: The veiled women; and you have answered your own question.

Archie: How's that?

Uzza: Some women, just like many men, enjoy bullying people, especially men. They too feed on the fear they instill in the people they intimidate. For the veiled women you say intimidate you, you are an inferior and many take pleasure, I am sure, in the fear they instill in you by standing up for a religion that uses terror as a means to an end.

Archie: Why would they consider me an inferior?

Uzza: You are an inferior as far as Islam is concerned, an inferior in faith who must inevitably be made to submit to Allah's Will, or be killed.

Bob: But didn't you just say that women are inferior to men?

Archie: And didn’t Allah say that women were so stupid that they could not remember things as well as men, which is why a woman’s testimony is worth less than that of a man?

Uzza: Both Allah and Muhammad are in agreement; women are not very smart, with Muhammad going as far as comparing them to donkeys and dogs. Their lack of prowess is one reason Allah put men in charge. Another reason Allah made them lifetime wards of men, again according to His spokesperson, is that women are inferior in faith as evident by their periods, during which she is shunted aside during religious services and observances.

Bob: What does menstruation have to do with anything?

Uzza: I do not know, it is just another obsession of Allah and Muhammad where women are concerned, and further proof that females, in both intellectual and physical attributes, leave a lot to be desired.

Archie: Let me get this straight. Both God and His Prophet said that women are stupid and infirmed. That means to be a believing woman you have to agree that you are stupid and suffer from a repugnant disease which you acquired upon reaching puberty.

Uzza: No, only that you are not as smart as a man. As to the restrictions placed on them during their time of the month, it is just something they have to put up with; they do not have to believe that they are impure. This is just something that Allah and Muhammad, like so many gods and their spokesmen before them, who did not understand the role menstruation plays in the reproductive cycle, made up, as far as I am concerned, to further diminish our sex.

Archie: Fine, but if they agree they are stupider than me, what gives them the right to lord it over me?

Uzza: They may be inferior in beliefs to a believing man, but they are superior to every unbeliever and that includes all of you, and that is all that matters. That is why they are entitled, from their perspective, to bully you and get the satisfaction that their husbands, brothers, uncles and fathers must get from bullying them.
